Retro styles often return into fashion. Nowadays, the clothes and fads of the 1980s are bigger than ever. For some girls, that means sporting crimped hair. It doesn't take much more than a crimping iron to create the style. Well, perhaps a teasing comb and giant can of hairspray if you're going all out. Here is how to your crimp hair.

    Instructions

    1. Crimping Iron

      • 1

        Wash hair and dry thoroughly.

      • 2

        Plug in the crimping iron before you begin drying your hair. It should be heated and ready when you are finished.

      • 3

        Brush your hair until it is smooth and free of tangles.

      • 4

        Place a small section of your hair between the plates of the crimping iron and press down gently. Hold for 2-3 seconds. Start at the crown and work your way to the ends.

      • 5

        Repeat these steps with other sections of hair until all of the hair is crimped. You can also choose to crimp only specific sections of the hair.

      The Iron-Free Method

      • 1

        Wash and condition your hair.

      • 2

        Squeeze any excess water out of the hair. Do not dry.

      • 3

        Comb the hair with a wide-tooth comb until it is free of tangles.

      • 4

        Make a simple tight braid out of the hair and secure with an elastic band. As an alternative, you also can make multiple tight braids in the hair.

      • 5

        Allow the braided hair to dry completely.

      • 6

        Remove the elastic bands and loosen the hair. The result is a natural crimped effect. Comb the hair out with your fingers. Too much brushing can loosen the waves.
